linear bluffing vs. mixed bluffing?

i notice that pio sometimes will bluff the very bottom of the range (ie least amt of equity, but checking things like Ah), but then sometimes it will bluff a mixture of each holding at the bottom of the range (e.g. some Ah, some Kh, some Qh).
Anyone know how you determine which method of bluffing should be used?

flop texture determines my betsize, my betsize determines how many draws I can bet.

The reason for mixing different type of hands in a bluffing range is so it cannot get exploited by a clairvoyant opponent using blocker information. (if you only bluff with the Kh and I am holding the Kh then I know you cannot be bluffing)
This is not something you need to worry about in practice because you yourself don't know what your exact strategy is, let alone your opponent. In practice just prioritize bluffing with the best blockers and if those aren't enough with the very bottom of your range.
